Iphone 5 is the latest trending in smartphone competition this year, not to mention the troubling news of the Samsung's lose to the patent case with Apple in both US and Korea courts. Apple fought hard for the patents of their gadgets with Samsung, but they failed to include the rip-off makers in Shenzhen China. Goophone had released numerous Iphone, HTC and Samsung clones for the past two years and the brand have caught the attention of many local and international buyers in Asia and Europe. Goophone used online stores and youtube to do marketing for their products and what is interesting they would tend to compare their smartphones with the original ones, and that is awesome. Imagine I could own an Iphone clone for a surprising price with features and weight identical to real Iphone.

Goophone had successfully promoted their Goophone Y5, a clone of Iphone 4S running under Android 2.3 with 1Ghz processor. The rip-off is popular and it received good feedback from many buyers and 3rd party sellers, in fact Goophone got numerous orders from international phone sellers.
Now, Goophone released another interesting clone, the Goophone I5 which said has the look and style of Apple's Iphone 5. Apple promised that they would release the phone on September 12, 2012 with surprising features but Goophone just released their own Iphone 5 clone, they claimed that their replica would position to beat Apple Iphone 5 market in Asia.

I created reviews on MTK6575 Iphone clones and to all Y5 Iphone clones that I had encountered and studied I would say the Dami Y5 is the best it runs on Samsung 1.2 Ghz CPU. When I talked about the best I am dealing about the features and the hardware quality of the phone. I made reviews on Goophone Y5 and the phone has the best quality when it comes to performance and software, but it did not get the perfect comparison to Iphone 4 and 4s. The Goophone Y5 has some disadvantages that I would say far from the original Iphone 4S. The Dami Y5 has almost everything the Iphone 4 has from software to hardware.

Other Y5 Iphone clones have different hardware parts far from Iphone 4 and 4s, so if you are planning to replace some parts of it you can't find it in your local store but only in China. The Dami Y5 has the hardware feature of Iphone 4 not 4s, all parts of it can be replaced with Iphone 4 parts from PCB to covers. You can customize your Dami Y5 to be more of of an Iphone 4 and that makes the Dami Y5 somesort of Iphone 4 counterpart.

There are tons of China MTK6575 Iphone clones, my advice do not deceive by its physical features because what's inside of it is far from the real Iphone 4 or 4s. Here are the following differences:

1. Camera and video capabilities
2. Battery are soldered to the board - dimensions are different too
3. Front glass is not Gorilla glass - can be replaced but too complex to do
4.You cannot install real IOS only android

All those differences from other Iphone clones were solved in Dami Y5. It is basically the answer to all problems from other Iphone 4 kickoffs.

Good day Android lovers today I am going to help you how to solve the following issues:

1. You must add an account to the device to continue2. Google Play Loading error3. Replacing AppChina with Google Play4. Replacing Android Market with Google Play

It took me time on fixing those issues on my Android phone and finally I did it right. I am using Iphone Kickoff when I was searching for the solution and reset my phone several times, but anyways I am now enjoying the apps of Google Play.

Here are the files that you need.

Run Root Explorer , open sdcard folder then transfer Google files and Vending.Apk to System/App folder (If you can't paste change the mount to R/W)5. change Vending.apk permission to rw-r-r or 6-4-4 (do not install)6. install all Google files.7. Go to System/App folder then rename Market.apk to Market.aps if you are using Appchina, rename IAppChina.apk to IAppChina.aps. (if in-case nothing happens to the installation you may remove google files and vending.apk then restore those you renamed .aps to .apk)8. Go to your Menu then go to Settings - General - Reset - Factory Reset (This is erase user data so make sure you've made a backup)9.Go to your Settings - WIFI - turn it on10. Go to your Settings - Account & Sync - Add Account - Select Google ( sign in or create a google account to sync make sure the sync is on) 11. go to Menu and run Google Play

6. Select the goophone or thunderbird zip file then press the on/off switch of your phone, rooting installation will take place after that you need to wait till its done.

7. Select ../ and press the on/off switch, that will bring you back to the root menu

8. Select Reboot system now.
